As game audio development involves various aspects of sound design, music, dialogue and implementation using audio middleware, effective communication, realistic deadlines, and proper tools and techniques are crucial for successful project management. In this excerpt, we discuss the importance of staying informed about the progress and goals of the development team, setting realistic timescales and deadlines, and the use of audio middleware like Wwise or FMOD. We also provide a case study of implementing an adaptive music system in a fantasy RPG game using Wwise as an example to illustrate the process of planning and organizing tasks.
